Your support helps us to tell the story
My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.
Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.
Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond
Eric Garcia
Washington Bureau Chief
A film that was always going to bring a tear to the eye – for lead actress Kate Winslet as she accepted her Bafta and Oscar trophies.
It would be churlish to fault Winslet's performance, but there is little here that does not scream: FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION! It is all a bit too cerebral and lacks that punch to the gut one might expect of a movie about a former concentration camp guard. It certainly makes you think about complicity in the Holocaust, but it doesn't really make you feel.
